The city was beautifully decled for the oc-

crowd Yves in attendance. In the parade

Knights and many other orders, including
German societies and the Fratellanza, an

The monument rises ITO feet from its base
to the apex Of the Angel Of Peace on the
summit; the shaft alone is rs feet high and
the base IL, the latter consisting OF uniform
blocks of rough faced granite. at the four
corners OF this base are four bronze statues,
8 feet high, representing History, Victory,
Patriotism and Prosperity. The statue top
ping the shaft is II feet high. On the drums
at the foot Of the shaft are four beautiful
sculptures in relief, representing scenes In
the -four great wars In which the United
States has been engaged; and around the
top OF the base, below the adrum, !" are the.
names of the principal battles. The Angelo

the artist Doyle, who also designed the mon
unnent. The tall shaft Is but 10 feet In diam
eter at the base and tapers slightly to the
apex. The dedication was an occasion of

A Remarkable Growth.

The friends of Montgomery Ward & Co.,, formerly at 227 and 229 Wa bash Av., Chicago, will be glad to know that the rapid growth of their business has fol ced them to remove from Wabash Ave. to III, 112, 113 and IA Michigan Ave, where they have purchased magnificent build ing, the secen floors of which they will occupy exclusively. These seven floors are each 100 by 165 feet, aggre- gating nearly 12o,000 square feet (about three acres) of floor surface. The new quarters will enable them to handle their large busin' ss to the bet ter advantage of their customers. Fifteen years ago Montgomery Ward X Go. occupied but one room and that only 25x40 feet. The enormous growth of their business can be explained by the fact that they sell direct to con- sumers, and nerer misrepresent any article. The success of this house proves that "IIonesty is the best pol icy" and from this policy they never deviate. The Fall catalogue issued bx Messrs. Montgomery Ward & Go. should be in every family.

A Cow in a Candy Shop.
Washington Critic.


 "G-o-o-d g-r-a-c-i-o-u-s! Look out for the cow"
 Two of Washington's fascinating summer girls were slipping their noon- tide coffee and nibbling French rolls in Vogt's ice cream saloon on the av- enue this morning about ten o'clok. "Crash! bang! kefiop!"
 And there was a stampede towards the rear of the room, the two summer girls making such time that had the base-stealers of the Nationals seen them they would have expired with envy.
 And an infariated COW dashed in the front door.
 Where the COW came from no one knew.
 Neither did any one wait to inquire. All were too busy scoring home runs.
 The COW ran through the confec- tionary department and took posses sion. There were number of ladies and gentlemen there, but they retired temporarily.
